minutes she was drifting off into a restless sleep.
The dream started off strangely. She was in a really bright room with several chairs. It took her several moments to notice the man sitting at the head of the table. When he nodded for her to sit, she did but kept her mouth closed. There was no telling what this dream was, and she didn’t want any monsters to come out and eat her, thank you very much.
“ You think I’m a monster?” Startled, she shook her head at him. “But you do not believe that I’m real, do you? I assure you that I’m very real, Kala.”
“ I think you’re a dream brought on by too much stress. I’ve lost my job today.” He nodded. Of course he’d know, it was her dream after all. “Where am I?”
“ Here, with me.” She frowned at him, but before she could get him to clarify what he meant, he continued. “I should like a word with you. It is about your future.”
“ Of course it is. But I’m not going to take a handout. I’ve got my pride, you know.” He smiled and nodded. “Do you have a job opening for me?”
“ I do as a matter of fact. One that only you can do for us.” Suddenly, a file was in front of her. “I’ve made some changes here, and some of the men are not happy with them. I would like for you to help me with one such man.”
She opened the file and looked at the blank pages before looking back at him. “And how do I help this man? I’m not going to be his sex-retary. I have my pride too.”
“ Oh no, nothing like that. Though I must say you’ll eventually want to have him in your bed. I’m to understand he’s never experienced it before. Sex I mean.” She snorted. “He does that as well, though when he does, he does it quietly.”
“ I’m not here to impress you. I…actually, I have no idea why I’m here. You’re saying that I can help this man and will want him to fuck me, but I don’t think that’s all of it, is it?”
“ No. And I would say you’re a good deal smarter than I was first told.” He leaned back in his chair and regarded her. Kala just watched him. She had no idea what was going through his mind and thought that odd since it was her dream. “What if I told you that you’re the first of many such female humans?”
“ I would say that you’re nuts. Last I knew there were all kinds of female humans in the world. A good deal of them older than me.” She leaned forward, resting her hands on the table. “I’ve never been one to beat about the bush, as it were. Tell me what it is you want.”
He stared at her for a full minute before throwing back his head and laughing. “I do not intimidate you at all, do I? Well then, we’ll get to it. I’m sending you such a man that you’ll never see any like him again. But I think I’ll wait a while before you actually see him. I don’t want him to know that we’ve been changing his life around.”
“ I don’t have a job.” He nodded at her. “Well, if you think I’m going to provide for him, this guy that I can’t see, then you’re going to be shit out of luck. I’m going to be broke soon if I don’t find something.”
“ You’ll be fine.” Kala had her doubts. She was having a dream that she seemed to have no control over. “You like having control over yourself, don’t you?”
“ Who doesn’t?” She looked at the open file again and saw that there was something sort of fading in. She picked it up to look closer at it and found it gave her a slight head pain. Putting it down, she looked at the man. “What is this supposed to say?”
“ You can read it once you agree to my terms.” She asked him just what they were. “I’ll give them to you when you’re more ready to understand them. But I will ask that you keep an open mind.”
“ This is a dream. I’m pretty sure that I’m about as open as I can get here.” He didn’t say anything, and she glanced down at the file again. This time she could see a word: “Riss.”
“ You still think
